I was astonished to see this - a Glaswegian buddy explained who my children's doctor from time to time, and very occasionally mine is - Dr. MacDonald is an excellent, caring, and in my experience very thorough GP - she is a credit to Scotland and the Scottish Medical profession. Also a very lovely lady.

Linsey was a gem of a runner, but 80 proved to be her best year i think, bronze in the Olympics relay in 80, finalist also. She won a Commonwealth bronze in the relay in 82 as well.

Did she have a good career? No she didn't. British senior record holder aged 15. Olympic bronze medalist aged 16. Broken down has been aged 19.
